Today I received seven baseballs of prospects and first round draft picks from my man Paul C. I give Paul a list of guys I want from AA teams in Florida and he gets them signed for me more times than not. Today I received the following beautiful blue ink sweetspot baseballs:
JP Crawford – Phillies
Aaron Nola – Phillies w/”2014 1st Round Pick”
Michael Chavis – Red Sox w/”2014 1st Round Pick”
Gregory Bird – Yankees
Angelo Gumbs – Yankees
Eric Jagielo – Yankees w/”2013 1st Round”
Aaron Judge – Yankees w/”2013 1st Rd Pick”
Yet again Paul comes through big time!

Futures Stars!
Today was a great mail day. I received three baseballs I purchased from Kent B (doggle3 on SCN) who I have purchased quite a bit from both already signed and via consignments. Kent was up for the All Star festivities and got some autographs and made them available. I received:
Joey Gallo w/”Futures Game MVP”
Julio Urias
Corey Seager
As always, Kent does an awesome job.
I also received a baseball signed by Dr James Andrews. I sent it to him on 04.09.2014. He signed it “To Kevin”/Dr Jim Andrews. Interesting he signed his first name Jim. Thanks Dr Andrews!
A Trifecta of Hall of Famers
Today I met up with my buddy Joel B (brad0112 on SCN) at Caden’s baseball tournament in Richfield. Joel brought some things I had bought a while ago and he picked up for me as well as three magazines from a private signing he had during all star week.
Today I added a beautiful Lefty Gomez baseball and a beautiful Carl Hubbell baseball. Both are psa/dna certified. These came from the same batch I bought from a few months ago when I got Yogi Berra, AB Chandler, Curt Gowdy, Willie Stargell, Brooks Robinson and Hal Newhouser. I have been wanting a Hubbell for a while and they are real hard to find in this condition. I am pretty excited for both of these.
Joel brought three Sports Illustrated magazines he had signed for me when he met up with Rickey Henderson after the Celebrity Softball game last week. These are also beautiful magazines signed perfectly.
Thanks a ton Joel!
Carl P
Today I received a card I bought from Chris B (GoYanks52 on SCN) that he got signed by Carl Pavano at the Hall of Fame Classic in Cooperstown, NY a few months ago. It is the 2011 Allen & Ginter card. It is signed in blue and looks fantastic.
